Summer is on its way!
How to handle the heat when it hits your workouts
_____________________________________________________________________________
3 things that make a difference in the heat
- Start with fluids and salt – not just water
- Use light and fresh flavors
- Be consistent – not just when you're thirsty
You lose fluids and electrolytes when you sweat, so start with a mixture of fluids, carbohydrates and salt about an hour before. Choose light and fresh flavors, especially in the heat, as heavy or sweet products can be difficult to get down later. Drink according to schedule – thirst often comes too late.

Why does everything feel heavier in the heat?
Because the body uses energy to cool down. Proper fluid and energy can reduce that energy drop.
